I just learned about this local child, Luke, who was recently diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. The Independence, KY-based family is trying to stay positive and the dad is taking time off work to spend as much time as he can with his sick son.

My friends need help in getting the word out to help raise money for this family because the medical bills are stacking up, so they’re holding an event to benefit the family.

The “Fight Like a Superhero” benefit will be held Saturday, October 5 from 6-11 p.m. at the St. Dominic Gym in Cincinnati. The cost is $20 per person or $35 per couple. If you’re unable to attend the event but still want to donate, you can head to any 5/3 bank and make a donation to the Luke Knapke Donation Fund. 100% of the proceeds from the benefit will be going to Luke and his family.

You can learn more about Luke and his family or the event by visiting their Facebook Page.
